第二天 这张照片在美国各地的报纸上刊登
The picture ran in newspapers around America the following day,
庆祝这个项目背后的天才火箭工程师
celebrating the genius rocket engineer who was behind it all.
冯•布劳恩就像泰坦
Von Braun is a titan.
你知道 他是上个世纪的主要传奇人物之一
You know, he's one of the major figures of the last century.
他走在了时代的前沿
And he was way ahead of his time.
冯•布劳恩坚信人类的未来在太空
Von Braun adamantly believed that humanity's future was in space.
他是历史上太空计划最伟大的声音
He's the greatest voice we've had in the history of the space program.
NASA认为他是“火箭科学之父”
NARRATOR: Considered by NASA to be the "Father of Rocket Science,"
冯•布劳恩被认为发明或帮助开♥发♥了许多当今最先进的航♥空♥技术
Von Braun is credited with either inventing or helping to develop many of the most sophisticated aerial technologies that exist today,
比如超音速防空导弹
like the supersonic anti-aircraft missile,
弹道导弹
the ballistic missile,
第一颗美国卫星
the first American satellite,
美国的第一批太空飞行器
and the first U.S. space vehicles,
包括使人类能够到达月球的巨大的土星五号♥火箭
including the enormous Saturn V rocket that enabled man to reach the moon.
毫不夸张地说 阿波罗计划被称为
Without exaggeration, the Apollo program has been called
“人类所取得的最伟大的成就”
"the greatest achievement that mankind has ever accomplished."
如果没有沃纳•冯•布劳恩 我们就不会登上月球
Without Wernher Von Braun, we would have not reached the moon.
到目前为止 土星五号♥是我们造过的最强大的火箭
To date, the Saturn V is the most powerful rocket that we've ever built.
冯•布劳恩令人难以置信的工程壮举 只有他投入全部精力将人类送入太空的壮举才能与之匹敌
NARRATOR: Von Braun's incredible engineering feats were matched only by his all-consuming crusade to send man into space.
在20世纪50年代 太空旅行似乎是一种幻想
In the 1950s, when space travel seemed a fantasy,
沃纳•冯•布劳恩与沃尔特•迪斯尼合作 说服持怀疑态度的公众相信人类登上月球不仅是可能的
Wernher Von Braun teamed up with Walt Disney to convince a skeptical public that putting man on the moon was not only possible,
而且这将在他们的有生之年发生
but that it would happen in their lifetimes.
这些电影
In these films,
据估计有4200万人观看
watched by an estimated 42 million people,
冯•布劳恩不仅大胆预测了人类将如何进入太空
Von Braun boldly predicted not only how we would send men into space,
还解释了如何使用防护服
but also the use of protective suits,
登月飞行器 轨道空间站
lunar landing vehicles, orbiting space stations,
甚至载人火星之旅
and even manned trips to Mars.
如果我们今天开始一个有组织的、得到充分支持的太空项目
If we were to start today on an organized and well-supported space program,
我相信实用的载人火箭可以在十年内建造和测试成功
I believe a practical passenger rocket could be built and tested within ten years.
但是这个对未来有着如此非凡愿景的工程天才到底是谁呢?
NARRATOR: But who exactly was this engineering genius with such extraordinary visions for the future?
为什么他如此坚信人类可以而且应该进入太空?
Why did he believe so strongly that man could and should travel into space?
我们到那里的时候 他想找到什么?
And what did he expect to find when we got there?
沃纳•冯•布劳恩出生于1912年3月23日
Wernher Von Braun was born March 23, 1912,
在普鲁士东部的一个小镇上
in a small town in Eastern Prussia.
他是三个儿子中的老二
The second of three sons,
沃纳出身于富贵人家
Wernher grew up a child of wealth and privilege.
虽然他出生在一个成功的家庭
But while he was born into an accomplished family,
但沃纳敏锐的智力和不同寻常的热情引人注目
Wernher's keen intellect and unusual passions stood out.
他的父亲曾经说过
His father once said,
“我不知道他的天赋从何而来”
"I don't know where his talent comes from,"
他不止一次地说 他认为他的儿子是个谜
and stated on more than one occasion that he considered his son a mystery.
保罗:沃纳•冯•布劳恩多才多艺
IMPEY: Wernher Von Braun was multitalented.
他的两侧大脑可以同时工作
Both sides of his brain were working.
他可以思考技术问题 想象火箭和太空旅行
He could think about technical things and imagine rocketry and space travel,
而且他是一个有成就的音乐家
but he was an accomplished musician.
这些特征很早就表现出来了
And these traits manifested very early.
我想他的父母在他四五岁的时候就知道他很特别
I think his parents knew by the time he was four or five that he was very special.
他小时候妈妈给了他一架望远镜
His mother gave him a telescope when he was young,
他看着月亮说 “我想去那里”
and he looked at the moon and said, "I want to go there."
“我想造出能登上月球的机器”
I want to build the machine that will go to the moon."
当然 半个世纪后他做到了
And of course he did half a century later.
沃纳•冯•布劳恩 成长在一个德国科幻作家专注于科幻乌托邦小说的时代
NARRATOR: Wernher Von Braun grew up in a time when German science fiction authors focused on science utopian novels
这使他像一个理想化的德国工程师 通过科学技术解决世界上的问题
that often featured an idealized German engineer who solves the world's problems through science and technology.
弗里茨•朗的《大都会》和《月亮上的女人》等电影 也激发了公众的想象力
Movies such as Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" and" Woman in the Moon" also stirred the public's imagination
毫无疑问 他对冯•布劳恩产生了巨大的影响
and no doubt had a powerful influence on Von Braun.
作为一个成长于20世纪二三十年代的年轻人
For a young man growing up in the 1920s and '30s,
人们认为太空旅行太过虚幻 太过遥远 不可能实现
space travel was considered too fantastic and far-fetched to ever be possible.
尽管莱特兄弟在1903年实现了第一次动力飞行
And although the Wright brothers had achieved the first powered flight in 1903,
但马车仍然是广泛使用的交通工具
the horse and buggy was still a widely used mode of transportation.
把人送上月球的成就在当时几乎是不可能的 几乎是不可想象的
The achievement of putting a man on the moon is something that was at the time really almost impossible and almost unthinkable.
沃纳•冯•布劳恩从小就痴迷于登月和火星之旅
Wernher Von Braun was obsessed with going to the moon and going to Mars from the time he was a little boy.
这就是他的命运
And that was his destiny.
在他十几岁的时候
NARRATOR: In his teens,
冯•布劳恩写过关于轨道飞行的论文
Von Braun wrote papers on orbital flight,
在20岁的时候
and by the incredibly young age of 20,
他被陆军炮兵上尉沃尔特•多恩伯格任命为德国火箭计划的负责人
he was named the head of Germany's rocket program by army artillery officer Captain Walter Dornberger.
多恩伯格后来在他1952年出版的书中写道
Dornberger would later write in his 1952 book,
“V-2 向太空开火”
"V-2, the Firing into Space,"
年轻的冯•布劳恩的活力给他留下了深刻的印象
that he was deeply impressed by the young Von Braun's energy,
他为人精明 具有惊人的理论知识
shrewdness and astonishing theoretical knowledge.
英庇:当他朝着自己的目标努力时
IMPEY: When he worked towards one of his goals,
他只要要专心致志 很快就能掌握一门学科
he would apply himself and master a subject in very short order.
他被训练成一名工程师
He'd been trained as an engineer,
但攻读物理学博士学位并非易事
and doing a PhD in physics is not trivial.
他获得博士学位的时候 大多数德国学生还是本科生
And he got his PhD at an age when most German students were still undergraduates.
为什么沃纳•冯•布劳恩能与他同时代的 尼古拉•特斯拉、罗伯特•奥本海默、阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦
NARRATOR: But how is it that Wernher Von Braun... Whose contemporaries included such scientific geniuses as Nikola Tesla,
这样的科学天才相提并论
Robert Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein...
就火箭技术而言 沃纳能远远领先于所有人吗?
Was so far ahead of everyone when it came to rocketry?
是什么让他如此痴迷于星际旅行呢?
And what was behind his obsession to travel to the stars?
一些古代的宇航员理论家认为 这位天才少年可能受到了超自然力量的引导
Some ancient astronaut theorists believe that the boy genius may have been guided by otherworldly forces.
也许他的灵感来自科幻小说
Maybe he drew his inspiration from science fiction.
也许是他对未来的想象和憧憬
Maybe it came from his... his own imagination and vision of what the future should be.
也可能是受到外星生物的启发
Or maybe it was inspired by something extraterrestrial.
威尔科克:沃纳•冯•布劳恩身上可能发生过某种外星接触
WILCOCK: Some sort of extraterrestrial contact might have happened with Wernher Von Braun.
可能有什么东西或什么人接触了他 使他看到了我们作为一个文明需要去的地方
Something or someone might have reached him and saw where we needed to go as a civilization,
给了他所需的工具和洞察力 让他能够建造出通往太空的道路
and gave him the tools and the insights that he needed to be able to build our way out into space.
乔治•A•索卡罗斯:有些人认为像阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦和特斯拉这样的人 他们受到了外星干预
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: Some have suggested that people like Albert Einstein, Tesla, that they've had this extraterrestrial intervention;
他们能够接收到丰富的知识
That they have had access to this abundance of knowledge.
问题出现了……
And the question has arisen...
沃纳•冯•布劳恩呢? 他也是其中的一员吗?
Did Wernher Von Braun? Was he also one of them?
因为他的远见 他的想法在当时是不可思议的
Because the vision he had, the ideas were incredible for their time.
也许外星人选择让沃纳•冯•布劳恩 把人类推向月球和更远的地方
NARRATOR: Might extraterrestrials have chosen Wernher Von Braun to propel mankind to the moon and beyond,
正如一些古代宇航员理论家所声称的那样?
as some ancient astronaut theorists propose?
也许通过研究冯•布劳恩与一个神秘的纳粹机构“祖先遗产学会”的联♥系♥ 可以找到更多的线索
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining Von Braun's connection to a mysterious Nazi institution known as the Ahnenerbe.
1933年 阿道夫•希♥特♥勒♥掌权并开始巩固政♥权♥
NARRATOR: In 1933, Adolf Hitler rose to power and began consolidating.
德国的军事、政♥治♥和经济机构 都在他的纳粹党机器的控制下
Germany's military, political and economic institutions under the control of his Nazi Party apparatus.
多年来 沃纳•冯•布劳恩避免成为纳粹党成员
For years, Wernher Von Braun avoided becoming a member of the Nazi Party,
但是在1937年11月12日
but on November 12, 1937,
他奉命加入纳粹党 并照做了
he was commanded to join and did so.
听他说过 他别无选择
To hear him tell it, he was, uh, had no choice.
他要么这样做 要么和其他违抗纳粹的人一样面临同样的命运……必死无疑
That he... it was either do that or, um, face the same fate as everyone else who disobeyed the Nazis... Certain death.
冯•布劳恩认为纳粹运动不是出路
Von Braun didn't think the Nazi movement was the way to go,
但这只是他发展火箭的一种手段
but it was a means to an end to develop his rockets.
1944年
NARRATOR: In 1944,
在德国政♥府♥额外资金的帮助下
with the help of additional funding from the German government,
